IT has In the past happened not infre-
quently In Mexico that foreigners of
wealth have been clapped into prison
upon frivolous charges, behind which
was an attempt to bleed them of
their money. Thus, in one instance now
recalled, merchant was jailed to compel
the payment by him of an arbitrary tax,
levied by the mandate of one dressed in
brief authority. The prisoner was stub
born, but when coffee and toast were ten
dered him at $50 sip of the one and 500
mouthful of the other hunger forced
him to yield. The story is telegraphed
now that Richard Stewart is "jugged " in
chihuahua on trumped-up charge of
fraud, and is being harshly treated and
Systematically starved. Mr.. Stewart is an
American citizen, and appeals to his coun-
try for protection and relief His case
will certainly be inquired into, and the
Mexican Government compelled to do JUS
tlce in the premises-that is if Mr.. Bay
ard acts with something more of prompt
ness than has characterized his activities
in the past. If he is as slow as he has been
IN most cases, however, the inquiry will be
poStmortem affair.

savannah's Projected Railroads.

Despite the vaticinations of the enemies
of the Railroad Commission of Georgia.
there is greater activity in railway circles
and larger number of new lines are con-
templated or in actual process of construc-
ton than ever before in the history of the
commonwealth. Prominent among these is
the Birmingham and Atlantic Airline rail
way.
This road, starting from Savannah, takes
a straight course to Dublin, and thence on
to Macon and to Birmingham, by a direct
line. From Savannah to Macon it pursues
the line of the old Savannah Dublin and
Western railroad which will be an integral
part of the Birmingham and Atlantic Air
Line. The distance by this route between
the two cities is 100 miles. OF this, about
100 miles has been graded fifty at each end.
The intervening space, including grading,
piling, bridging, etc, has been let out under
contract, and is now in actual process of
construction. i
The entire line is to be completed by Feb
|, 1855. The builders of the road are the
United States Construction and Improve
ment Company, of New Jersey The Presi-
dent is Mr. j. A Simmons, of 45 Broad
way, New York. This company has ample
means TO complete the work in the time
prescribed. A force of 700 hands are push
ing operations forward as rapidly as posi-

the men can be engaged.
Douglass Green, of New York, is tie
President of the Birmingham and Atlantic
Airline railway; John A. A. West, Gen
eral Manager, and NJ. F. Tutwiler, Chief
Engineer. Both of the last named have
their headquarters in Savannah.
This road when completed will be most
important feeder for our city, and means
cheap coal, and lumber and naval stores
world-without-end
Mr.. West is our authority for the above
statements. 1t is an open secret that an
other line is on the taps to connect Savan-
nah with the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad at point about sixty
miles below Macon. Indeed, the matter
has progressed SO far that a preliminary
survey has been made. AS no positive steps
have yet been taken in the premises, we re-
frain from mentioning names and particu-
lars. Such line, if completed, would tap
one of the finest timber regions in the Union.
We wish the inchoate scheme success.
